Hookahs or Nargilla




Hookahs or Nargilla
Hookahs are very popular smoking devices around the world, and although it was the Arab culture in which they first developed, since that time they have become incredibly well established around the world, and are now popular universally with all different cultures and ages of people. Glass hookahs in particular are very popular and loved by many.

What is a Hookah?

A hookah is basically a sort of pipe, and is also commonly called a narghile, sheesha, and hubbly bubbly. Shisha is the name of the tobacco or herbal mixture that is used in these hookahs, and it is available in a variety of different flavors, ranging from apple to peach and everything in between.


Glass hookah smoking is considered as being a type of social activity, one that originated in India but which quickly gained popularity in the Middle East and then spread over to the Western world. A typically glass hookah smoking session will last anywhere from half an hour to 45 minutes, and can be shared with a few or a group of people or by a single person alone.

Ramadan mubarak


Ramadan or Ramazan (Arabic: رمضان, Ramaḍān) is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, believed to be the month in which the Qur'an was revealed to Angel Gabriel, to deliver it to Prophet Muhammad. It is the Islamic month of fasting (sawm), in which participating Muslims do not eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset. Fasting is meant to teach the person patience, sacrifice and humility. Ramadan is a time to fast for the sake of God, and to offer even more prayer than usual. During Ramadan Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance into the future, ask for help in refraining from everyday evils and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.

팔레스타인을 잇는 다리라는 단체가 있다 이스라엘사람들에게 조국을 빼앗기고 국제적인 무관심속에서 하루하루를 버티며 견디는 팔레스타인지역의 아랍인들과 한국을 잇는 역할을 하는 NGO단체이다. 어떠한 보상이나 대가를 원하지않고 팔레스타인 사람들의 실생활을 한국에 알리기 위해서 흔들리지않고 열심히 한다. 하루라도 조용할 알이 없었던 이라크에서 느꼈던 나의 미안한 마음을 한국까지 가져오지 못한 내가 참 부끄럽다.
